#Musk and #TFG and the #MAGA masses are so accustomed to lying and getting away with it, they just spew meaningless garbage without a care in the world? Something now immediately contradicts something said a week or so ago? Who cares! It’s not like anyone gives a damn, anyway, and if they do there’s nothing they can do to stop it, so again… who cares!
Take #Xitter’s #CommunityNotes as an example. They were great because Musk didn’t need to pay people to keep toxic shit off the Official Social Network of Shitposting® because the “community” would handle that. But now that those same notes are being “gamed” by filthy libs, “he” is going to have to “fix” them, so I guess not the bestest anymore?
These 20G 90º turns at speed are quite jarring. #socialmedia #tech #capitalism #fascism arstechnica.com/tech-poli…
I don’t think punitive resignation works anymore. Not only does it close out a specific process pipeline, it creates a hole which #TFG & Co can fill with whomever they please, and that is likely to be a useful idiot. Stay. Fight. #uspol www.washingtonpost.com/politics/…
If you have operated under the illusion that #TFG & Co are trying to save #America’s #economy by cutting waste and fraud, then you should know that installing these and then removing them costs millions of dollars. Also very petty. #uspol #tech gizmodo.com/u-s-gover…
There is no question that, if there isn’t one already, we need a #ProtestTracker. Or even just use the hashtag and post images and videos from these protests. Share our frustration at the outrages of #TFG and Co since the MSM won’t. #uspol #news #protests kottke.org/25/02/004…
The #facism is being televised, and not enough Americans give a damn… Oh well. Guess I’ll just play #MarvelRivals while #ElonMusk dismantles our democratic institutions. Also, Squirrel Girl is a hottie! #apathy #uspol #capitalism kottke.org/25/02/the…
And another thing about this Gulf of Mexico thing… I was under the impression that #TFG’s America was about the Freedom™ of #Capitalism? But #Google just caves to Dear Leader’s petulant colonialist demand like it was State Run? How pathetic. #tech #capitalism #fascism gizmodo.com/google-ma…
Can someone please make a browser extension that puts a label over “Gulf of America” that reads “Gulf of Mexico” in Google Maps? I can’t code to save my life, but I don’t think it would be that complicated… right? #tech #google #TFG #internet #programming jalopnik.com/google-is…
RE: RFK Jr. being sworn in as #HHS Secretary; Every last one of #TFG’s appointments have been people who either owe #DearLeader for their acceptance into #MAGA, have been licking his boots clean for years, or gave him money… oh, and are white and “camera ready”. #uspol #fascism #capitalism
If you want to keep track of what the #Trump administration is doing, but don’t want to filter out the useless junk from dozens of sources, bsky.app/profile/r… collects it all in one daily post. #uspol #resistfascism Here is today’s: rimaregasblog42.substack.com/p/things-…
I call bullshit. If the #Democrats won’t do anything because they don’t hold any power, which makes no sense because the #Republicans got up to all manner of shady bullshit when they were in the minority, what fucking good are they? #uspol www.axios.com/2025/02/1…
